Editorial Review: Description: Based on the critically-acclaimed novel by Jonathan Safran Foer, "Everything is Illuminated" tells the story of a young man's quest to find the woman who saved his grandfather in a small Ukrainian town that was wiped off the map by the Nazi invasion. What starts out as a journey to piece together one family's story under absurd circumstances turns into a meaningful journey with a powerful series of revelations -- the importance of remembrance, the perilous nature of secrets, the legacy of the Holocaust, and the meaning of friendship.

But Alex's shtick felt very forced. ... Read More Rating: - InspiringThis DVD is based on the book by JSF. This is a movie you will appreciate if you appreciate art and detail. It's not a summer blockbuster for sure. The movie carefully takes you through the story and you feel like you are walking alongside the characters. It's a great story and the actors do a great job in their roles. I recommend this movie especially if you have been to Eastern Europe for any length of time. Rating:  - Surprisingly goodEverything Is Illuminated was a surprise 2002 hit novel by Jonathan Safran Foer, which was a thinly veiled fictional account of his 1999 trip to Ukraine to research his Jewish roots during World War Two. The young author, only twenty-five at the book's release, elicits a widely divergent critical range of opinion- from hyperbolic praise by established hack writers like Joyce Carol Oates, to outright condemnation by young, unpublished hacks who resent his two book, half a million dollar publishing deal. ...
